问题
- I'm using a private mediawiki hosted on AWS EC2 instance for years
- I thought something gone wrong with some extension, specifically stopping in the middle of math rendering, so I tried to reload the page with Google Chrome browser's cache were all erased.
- Right after that, I can't log in seeing this message "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again."
I tried, 1. restart apache server 2. tried MediaWiki sessions and cookies not working on multi-server behind CloudFlare 3. tried Mediawiki, can't login after password change 4. tried "go in your LocalSettings.php and at the end add the following code of line :session_save_path("tmp");Create a folder "tmp" in your wiki installation directory. give rights 777 (permissions)" as in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Pjby0sdeg3e60rfy 5. checked the server's hard disk storage, but it has free space of way more than 3.5gb.
How do I fix this and is there any way of disabling this really helpful "PRECAUTION" feature?
回答1:
Adding $wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_DB; to LocalSettings.php solves the problem. No need to change $wgMainCacheType.
This works, without the "precaution against session hijacking" error:
$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ACCEL;
$wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_DB;

Turned out to be something went wrong with cache settings in LocalSettings.php. Resolved after removing (almost all) customized cache settings.
回答3:
MediaWiki authentication and session handling has been rewritten for 1.27; see announcement (the last section). Session hijacking warnings mean the CSRF token you are submitting was not found in the session, which in turn usually means the session storage is configured wrong.
回答4:
Twice now, we started getting this error after the server ran out of space. Turns out, both times it was because the objectcache table had been corrupted.
To fix it, just run the SQL statement (e.g. at a MySQL prompt):
REPAIR TABLE objectcache;
